Personally, I dont give a shit what petrol cost, it will never stop me form doing what I want on/in a vehicle. Same as smokes, put the price up all ya want Government people, I dont care, I am happy to contribute to the $900 million in taxes every year. Just brought some Cody's....no sure how much they cost, once again, I dont care, I want to drink them, so I pay what they cost...around $20?

    i remember when petrol was 0.79 per lt and the out cry when it went up to over a $1 per lt

    no point moaning about what you cant change you need it so get over it
    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.

    Just bought some McK 9% cans at 26 buck for a ten pack
    10 cans at 330 ml = 3.3ltr = 7.878 buck per ltr
    petrol = alot less
    as a bloke who has to ride a ten speed for the next 3 months, its gonna be a more expensive habit than riding !!!
    Have i said f**k in this post ?
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Actually since the Buell was race kitted it runs noticeably better on BP98 AND I don't nana it. Its a bloody economical bike! Always has been. Its the smart chip in it.

    First time I called into a BP today with the XT and filled up with 98.
    It runs much smoother, less surging and pulls cleanly from low rpm.

    Sheesh...you young-uns....I remember buying proper petrol at 45c/gallon...that's 10c/lt for you modern types...and now you have to sign a form saying you won't use that stuff on the road. Donno wot the world is coming to.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    What price is petrol in Amberley? Take large cans & fill up when you do your grocery shop there or do you travel through to Chch?
